949 The “ATM” Is Here

“Have Father or eldest brother received any news about Xia Zhe recently? Or letters from Xia Zhe or something,” Qiao Mei asked.

Ever since Xia Zhe made the phone call to mediate the relations.h.i.+p between Qiao Mei and Xu Lan, Qiao Mei had not received any more news about Xia Zhe. Xia Mao only told her that Xia Zhe was on a mission and it was not convenient for him to reveal any details. The only thing he could tell her was that Xia Zhe was very safe at the moment.

Earlier, she had asked Xia Mao to help her send the liquid made from the 1000-year-old ginseng to Xia Zhe and he had already received it. Otherwise, Qiao Mei would be more worried about Xia Zhe’s safety than now. With the 1,000-year-old ginseng liquid, Xia Zhe would have a much higher chance of survival if he was ever in danger.

Although Xia He had previously been married for so many years, she had never experienced what Qiao Mei was going through. Kong Lu’s job was not as dangerous as Xia Zhe’s. It was considered one of the easier jobs in the army. He could call her every day and did not get sent on secret missions. During his vacation leave period, he could always go home.

Although they were both wives of military men, things were very different. It was really tough for Qiao Mei to be pregnant and on her own for 10 months. It was very likely that Xia Zhe would still be on a mission when Qiao Mei gave birth and he could not come back on time.

However, Qiao Mei understood Xia Zhe’s situation very well and did not resent him for it. Xia Zhe was protecting the people of the entire country, so she would play her part to protect their own little family. She saw it as a good division of labor.

“He hasn’t said anything to us, but based on previous experiences, no news is good news,” Xia He said.

“What about eldest brother? Xia Zhe did not contact eldest brother too?” Qiao Mei continued to ask.

Xia Wen had so much stuff to handle that he did not have the energy to think about Xia Zhe’s issues now. Although he was not facing any setbacks in his career, the trivialities in his life were more than a handful for him.

“No, he didn’t. Yesterday, Aunt told me that eldest brother is injured and is now staying at Mother’s place. This whole matter is quite strange. Eldest brother didn’t explain how he got injured. In the past, eldest brother wouldn’t go home to seek help from our parents no matter how difficult the situation was. He’s a very stubborn person. I don’t know what happened, but he’s acting abnormally,” Xia He said in puzzlement.

“Let eldest brother handle his own matters. We can’t interfere even if we want to,” Qiao Mei said as she continued to embroider the clothes. There was a high chance that it had something to do with the Tan family. Since Xia Wen did not say anything, it was not convenient for them to get involved in the conflict between the couple.

As she spoke, there was a knock on the main door. Xia He thought that Li Gui had forgotten her keys, so she quickly ran to the door and opened it with a smile. “Auntie, you’re back! There’s still food in the pot! You… Why are you here? Is our house a place you can visit? Get lost!”

When Xia He saw that the person standing outside the door was He Ning, her expression changed drastically. The incident of the He family causing Qiao Mei to have a “miscarriage” was still vivid in her mind, yet this man still dared to take the initiative to come looking for Qiao Mei. This was simply the highest level of shamelessness!

He Ning did not care about Xia He’s scolding at all. She always made a great show of strength, but she did not use her brains well. She was not even as capable as one of Xia Wen’s fingers. She only had brute strength and good looks, but nothing else.

“I’m here to return money to Qiao Mei. May I trouble you to go and ask her if she wants the money?” He Ning said with a gentle smile.

Xia He closed the main door reluctantly and slowly walked back into the house. “There’s a short-lived person outside who’s here to return you money.”

Short-lived and returning money? That meant that her “ATM”, He Ning, was here! Coincidentally, she was a little short of money recently, so He Ning had come at the right time.

“Elder sister, let him in. They won’t be able to do anything in broad daylight,” Qiao Mei said.

Xia He was still unwilling to let He Ning inside. She crossed her arms and leaned against the door frame as she said, “Don’t forget what the He family did to you back then. It all happened in broad daylight. There’s nothing that those heartless people from the He family dare not do. As long as they can achieve their goal, they will work hard to achieve it no matter the price.”

“He Ning’s life is in our hands now. He won’t do anything to me. Besides, don’t I still have you by my side? If he makes any rash moves, just whack him!” Qiao Mei said with a smile.
